@richardiox Shit !!! Beach Head !!!! I have loads of golden C64 memories but I had totally forgotten about that game. I better not check it out or it'll ruin it for me but I seem to remember it being awesome.

Paradroid was my favourite though, although don't know why.

Edit: Couldn't help myself - looked at the screenshots of Beach Head - looks weird now.

"The Durrs from the planet Suna have broken through the defensive forces of the Earth. In an unexplored region on our planet they errect a fortress with an atmospheric machine. This enables them to change the weather on Earth to their wishes, to create a glacial period and loot all resources of the Earth.
You are Lance Gryzor, a member of the United Earth Defense Forces, who has seen through the intentions of the Durrs. Our hero's task is to invade the fortress, passing the androids, and to destroy the heart of the complex, the atmospheric machine. Numerous dangers as e.g. different weapon systems, deadly tunnels and aliens try to stop Lance. There is only one man who can bring this mission to a successful end - his name ...... Lance Gryzor! "

Head over heels, arkanoid, freddy hardest, barbarian II etc R-Type was a decent conversion of a console title as well I remember. Not bad considering a pocket calculator these days is probably 1000x more powerful than the cpu's they had in those machines.

One game that people don't talk about much that I always had a soft spot for was the Spectrum 128K version of Amaurote. I seem to recall hearing that the C64 version was quite different and a lot worse. (isometric game redone in plan view)
